Until that night at the beginning of winter, a woman crossing the bridge completely confused Po Meng's mood.
At the end of the Haishi period, in the snow and fog, a figure walked towards the Wangchuan Bridge in the distance.
Only when she was about to get closer did Po Meng realize that there were actually two people.
It was a woman in a red skirt carrying a man in a green shirt on her back. Although the woman was weak, she stubbornly carried the man on her back to the Wangchuan Bridge.
Po Meng opened her eyes and was stunned.
A long time passed in silence, without speaking.
The woman in the red dress carefully placed the man on her back on the chair in the bamboo shed on the bridge. She looked at Po Meng in front of her without saying a word, but silently shed tears.
After a long time, Mrs. Meng said quietly: "This is not the place you should come to. You are going the wrong way."
When the woman in the red dress heard this, she couldn't help crying softly again: "That's right, I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers in the world, visited all the famous doctors, gods and Buddhas in the world, and they showed me a way."
Po Meng was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Is this here?"
The woman in the red dress nodded and said, "This is it."
Po Meng thought that it was a snowy day and she had nothing to do, so she might as well listen to a story. So he added two pieces of charcoal to the brazier next to the woman.
He said softly: "In that case, let's talk and listen."
The woman looked at the sleeping man in front of her, sighed softly, and spoke quietly.
...
Legend has it that there is a kind of medicine in the world called Tianxiang Cardamom.
According to world legend, as long as you eat the sweet cardamom, a dying person can remain in a state of suspended animation. The only drawback is that the person will sleep for a long time and cannot wake up.
Another legend is that there is a medicine outside the world called Mengpo Tang.
Drinking it can wake up a sleeping person who has eaten the fragrant cardamom, but the only drawback is that the person will forget all the past and wave goodbye to the past.
If you are lucky, you can also find a medicine called soul-breaking grass. After eating it, the person who forgets his soul can remember all the past experiences. However, the price paid is that if he takes it for three days, he will definitely die.
There is a young swordsman named Mo Fei, who is known as the number one swordsman among the killers in the world.
In the ten counties of Kyushu, he is the most powerful killer. No one has ever defeated him. He is the well-deserved king of killers.
The price he paid for this was: his body was covered with scars, and his whole body was covered with various scars.
The rivers and lakes are not as simple as people think. They are rivers and lakes of blood and fire.
Could it be that there is a beloved woman who is said to be in the Four Seasons Tower...
Could it be that every time before he went out to kill someone, he would go to the Four Seasons Tower where the woman was to meet her.
Over time, this became a tacit understanding between the two.
Until one time, Mo Fei said to the woman: "Wait for me, I will come back and marry you after I finish the work this time. From now on, I will wash my hands of the world and never get involved in worldly affairs."
So the woman waited and waited...
The infatuated woman leaned against the window of the Four Seasons Tower and looked around every day.
I don't know how many days passed, but finally a swordsman came.
However, there is a person behind the swordsman, who is exactly what the woman has been waiting for.
I saw Mo Fei's face was peaceful, but he was unconscious. The swordsman said: "He was seriously injured and his life would not be saved... In order to save his life, I found the most magical medicine in the world... Tianxiang Cardamom."
Looking at the woman's confused look, the swordsman continued: "He will remain alive in this state, but he will not be able to wake up."
The woman hugged Mo Fei, looked at the swordsman and asked blankly, "Excuse me, is there an antidote in this world?"
The swordsman shook his head and replied softly: "It is unique in the world, but according to legend, only Meng Po Tang on the Wangchuan Bridge can cure it."
The woman thanked the swordsman for saving her life and sent him away.
After returning to the house, she put Mo Fei on the bed and stroked the criss-cross scars on his body... Thinking of his smiling and proud appearance, the woman's tears fell on Mo Fei's face...
Mo Fei, who had eaten the heavenly fragrant cardamom, could not feel the lover in front of him, still lying there peacefully.
The woman sold her gold and silver jewelry, picked up Mo Fei, and hit the road...
I traveled all over the mountains and rivers to seek medical treatment. Every doctor had the same expression when they heard Meng Po Tang, shaking their heads helplessly.
At first someone asked her, what disease does your brother have? She said firmly, this is my man.
Later someone asked her, what disease does your son have? He said firmly, this is my man.
On a snowy and windy evening, he came to a river with a stone bridge across the river, and a particularly charming woman on the bridge.
...
When Po Meng heard this, she sighed softly, pointed to one side of the stone bridge and asked, "What bridge do you see?"
The woman was startled, and following her gaze, she saw the words "Naihe!" carved on the stone bridge.
The woman burst into joy: "It turns out that I have been searching for many years and finally came here. This is the legendary Naihe Bridge?! Isn't it the place that I have been dreaming about?"
The woman looked at Po Meng and smiled bitterly: "Senior, can you save my lover?"
Po Meng looked at her and shook her head, and replied: "Do you know why this place is called Naihe Bridge? Because after crossing this bridge, there are six paths of reincarnation. Naihe, the world has nothing to do with it. Only people in reincarnation can drink this bowl of soup."
"What do you say?" the woman asked in a daze.
Po Meng spread her hands and replied: "Your lover is still alive before he expires... How can a living person be reincarnated? Since he cannot be reincarnated, how can he drink my bowl of soul-forgetting soup?"
The woman didn't expect this to be such a troublesome thing, so she couldn't help but pull her sleeves, knelt on the ground and cried: "This little woman has traveled thousands of miles to find this place, begging me to save my lover's life."
Po Meng thought for a long time before murmuring: "A lifetime or a lifetime?"
The woman didn't understand. She looked at her and asked, "What do you mean? Senior, please clarify."
Po Meng looked at her and shook her head, and said softly: "A bowl of soup, half for each of you... He returns to the world, and you cross the river. I have to stick to some rules, you know."
Upon hearing this, the woman gently touched Mo Fei's face, looked at it again and again, then raised her head and replied: "I do!"
Meng Po continued: "Did you know that the Meng Po soup I cooked is also called Forgetting Soul Soup?"
The woman shook her head to express her ignorance.
Po Meng shook her head and said: "Since he is not dead yet, my soup can wake him up, but he will forget everything before, including you in front of him."
The woman was silent for a long time before she gritted her teeth and replied, "Even so, I have to let him wake up!"
"Don't you regret it? This is a matter of life and death." Po Meng said coldly: "After you drink the soup, you have to cross the bridge and be reincarnated."
The woman confirmed it and nodded vigorously.
Po Meng had no expression. She reached out and took a bowl of soup from the pot and handed it to her, saying, "You can drink half of it. It's just to wake up a sleeping person. Half a bowl of soup is too much."
The woman took the soup, thanked Po Meng, held Mo Fei carefully and drank half of the soup in the bowl.
Then, under Po Meng's gaze, she drank half the bowl of soup.
The woman gave Mo Fei some decoction and waited quietly, stroking his face.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Mo Fei, who was sleeping, woke up. Looking at the woman holding him, Mo Fei frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why am I here?"
The woman raised her head and glanced at Po Meng, who was silent by the bridge, and replied to Mo Fei: "My name is Li Wuxin."
Mo Fei stared at the woman blankly and murmured, "Then who am I? Senior, do you know who I am?"
The woman looked at the man who was alive, her heart was cut by a knife, but she was helpless. He could only reply softly: "Your name is Wu Xin (Wu Xin)!"
"Wuxin? Wu Xin?..." Mo Fei held his head and rushed out to the bridge. In the wind and snow, he still looked confused.
The woman asked: "Wuxin, where are you going?"
Mo Fei murmured back: "I don't know either!"
Po Meng looked at the woman and said faintly: "He is going to finish his life. You are going to complete your reincarnation in advance. Let's go."
The woman looked at the place where she disappeared and sighed softly: "Senior, does he really remember nothing? Has he really forgotten all his past lives?"
Po Meng smiled and said, "Didn't you ask him? He asked you too."
"It's getting late, I have to close the stall and go home." At this point, Meng Po waved her hand, and a magic circle suddenly blocked the Wangchuan Bridge.
The woman looked at Po Meng in front of her, bit her lip gently, followed her with broken steps to the other side of the Forgotten River.
Only this time, Po Meng seemed to have forgotten to ask the woman a question.
The woman was also careless and did not ask Po Meng where she was going.
The two of them just walked in tandem, gently taking one step, ten steps... until the woman crossed the magic circle of Wangchuan Bridge.
Po Meng turned around and looked at the woman blankly and asked, "You haven't stepped into the path of reincarnation? It's strange, it's really strange!"
The woman was also surprised, holding her hand and saying: "Yes, mother-in-law, didn't you say that I was going to reincarnate? Where am I going right now?"
Po Meng raised her head and looked somewhere in the sky.
After looking at it like this for a long time, until a cold snowflake fell on his face, he murmured to himself: "Interesting, you don't belong to the Three Realms..."
He said no more at the moment and walked forward.
"From now on, you will live here... This place is called Huangquan Village, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Three Realms. Congratulations, you actually jumped out of the Three Realms from within the Three Realms in one thought... .”
Po Meng was depressed before because she witnessed the separation of the two, but she could not break the rules. Because she is only a temporary substitute.
And the woman in front of me actually jumped out of the Three Realms in a single thought...
This is indeed a happy thing, although the woman in front of me obviously doesn't know what the Three Realms are.
He led the woman behind and walked all the way to the small courtyard where he lived.
He opened the door, pointed to an empty room in the west wing and said, "There are everything in that room. You can live here from now on. Daily necessities are sold in the village... If you want to make money, just follow me every day." Go up the mountain to collect herbs.”
The woman who renamed herself Li Wuxin looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her and sighed softly, thinking that she no longer had to enter reincarnation, everything was just like a dream.
Looking at Po Meng who was following, she asked, "Senior, can I still go back?"
Po Meng was stunned, looked at her and said in disbelief: "Why don't you try it? Do you want to break the balance of heaven?"
Li Wuxin sighed timidly and said, "In this case, I will live here with my mother-in-law from now on."
Po Meng pointed to the medicine shed in the garden and said: "The spiritual flowers and herbs in this courtyard are grown by my sister. You can't pick them... You have to make money, so you can only follow me to the back mountain... ..."
"There is also a spiritual field outside this courtyard. If you have nothing to do, you can grow your own vegetables and flowers. This will be your home from now on."
Li Wuxin smiled and replied: "That's it, thank you, senior."
Po Meng replied calmly: "Qianchen Ruomeng, since you are already here, let him go past some things."
Li Wuxin gave her a gentle blessing and said: "Junior knows, I will go and clean up the place where I live." After saying that, he walked towards the hidden west wing.
Po Meng looked at Li Wuxin's back and chuckled: "It seems that there is no need to be lonely in these hundred years."
